From the beginning of time when first we worshiped the Great Mother Goddess, Crystals have been used as power symbols, for healing, balancing, to increase awareness, empowerment and balance. Great civilizations long before our time knew the power that these gifts from Mother Earth held.

Carl Jung observed that the crystal, a magical fusion of form and earthly matter, is one of the most perfect and powerful symbols of the self. It’s symbolism is Universal.
